The Body with Midwife
In 2016, Mercury writer Ben Salmon wrote of the experimental metal duo The Body: "Lee Buford plays drums and programs beats, while Chip King plays guitar and adds his unholy howl to the mix. Together, they combine synthesized sounds, scorched sludge-metal, beautiful vocal melodies, and clangorous noise to make something that sounds unlike anything else." Midwife, the moniker of New Mexico-based musician Madeline Johnston, will open the show with dreamy doom sounds that she's coined "heaven metal."
